Cosmic Weather:

“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.” – Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

On this glorious “hump day,” we are treated to a waning Luna entering philosophical, freedom-loving Sagittarius (8:29 am).

Energizing Mars in Capricorn is also forming a waning sextile to dreamy Neptune in Pisces (2:12 pm). There is an infusion of practical wherewithal and yearning to pursue our dreams in a more creative or imaginative way. Our actions may also be guided more by compassion or caring for the underdog. We are also possibly more tempted to overlook or forgive grievances/transgressions in a bid to foster or usher in healing. One shadow side here: We may be more prone to engaging in delusional or too fanciful behavior now, which is why we may want to wait for certain things to gel before going all in on something that is relatively new or untested. It is also probably a good thing that Mars is deposited in “show-me-the-money” Capricorn, as it may help us remain more tethered to the ground.

Finally, we have the Last Quarter Moon occurring this afternoon (5:32 pm). With Luna decreasing in light, this is generally not the time for embarking on new beginnings; rather, it is a period for applying finishing touches as well as for re-assessing or updating what we have recently learned or been made aware of. Our understanding of what we deem to be the truth could also be shifting.

*All Times EST

Born On This Day: Naruhito, Emperor of Japan, in 1960, in Tokyo, Japan. He succeeded to the Chrysanthemum Throne on May 1, 2019, following the abdication of his father, Akihito, the day before, beginning the Reiwa period. According to Japan’s traditional order of succession, he is the 126th member of the dynasty.

(Naruhito ascended to the throne in the midst of his second Saturn return in Capricorn. Transiting Saturn was also exactly conjunct his natal sixth house, governing work or duties, often a time of new responsibilities as well as a period when our day-to-day life can become more entangled.

Hope it’s a good one! Please stay safe and well.

Astrology March 14, 2020: Mars Sextile Neptune, Sun Sextile Pluto

Cosmic Weather:

“One of the things that we admire about porcelain is its delicate fragility. We should learn to appreciate the same in people.” Andrew Davenport

With so much uncertainty and disruption presently swirling around us, it’s pretty easy to become emotionally overwhelmed or to feel a bit more anxious, in general, about our daily lives. That’s why it’s also perhaps more important than ever to treat ourselves and others with special kid gloves now, if we can, which is what the more “humanistic” Mars-Neptune energy, today, ideally helps us to achieve.

This more “ego-subduing” influence generally raises our levels of sensitivity, caring, and compassion. It can also serve to remind us that, no matter what, “we’re all in this together,” (Neptune in Pisces) – even though we may also have to (ironically) erect some boundaries between ourselves and others temporarily now (Mars in Capricorn), so as to keep those bonds intact in the future.

Mars-Neptune energy often marks a time when we’re called upon to make personal sacrifices for the welfare of others or the collective.

This more “otherworldly” aspect can also be positive for such things as self-reflection, meditation, yoga, or breathwork.

Too, the “permeable” Pisces Sun’s sextile to “controlling” Pluto, in structuring Capricorn, once again, seems to be spotlighting for us now, among other things, an ever-growing awareness or consensus of the need to take more extreme measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 (Pisces rules viruses) and how these overtures are dramatically working to reshape (Pluto) our world, at least in the short-term.

On the plus side, it’s also an excellent planetary influence for retooling the approaches that we take for dealing with issues as it can provide us with greater clarity or insight.

Also, expansive Jupiter’s applying conjunction to Pluto continues to showcase the enormous volume of resources and actions that are being marshaled by many governments and businesses (Capricorn) and other entities, such as hospitals (Pisces) to deal with all the ramifications of this generational health crisis.

On a a more personal level, Sun-Pluto energy can mark a time of profound inner renewal. It’s also a great day for any purging, recycling, or refurbishing projects.

“We can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something better.” C. Joybell C.

Hope it’s a good one! Be safe!

Astrology November 1, 2014: A Trio of Sextiles

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” Henry Ford

COSMIC WATCH:        

We have three big “sextile aspects” occurring, today. Sextiles are seen as “opportunity times”:

1) “Thinker” Mercury sextiles “optimistic” Jupiter – Mercury-Jupiter aspects are synonymous with “big thinking.” They also inspire us to want to share our thoughts and ideas with others, i.e. sometimes we become a bit “chatty Cathy.” We’re also inclined to see the glass, now, as “half-full.” Also, there’s a real thirst for knowledge and information. Mercury-Jupiter aspects are associated with teaching, publishing, public speaking, and travel, especially foreign travel which acquaints us with different cultures and customs.

2)“Social” Venus sextiles “transformational” Pluto – This serves to deepen our emotional expression within relationships. New light is also possibly shed on the way we relate to others. Also, this influence can be rehabilitative for relationships.

3) “Assertive” Mars sextiles “compassionate” Neptune – This motivates us to “put others first.” It’s an excellent aspect for mediation; or for putting into motion peace-keeping measures / overtures. Also, we have more energy (Mars) for creative pursuits (Neptune). Ideal for fashioning more creative approaches within our career (Mars in Capricorn). Also, good for dreamwork.

Question for Today: Who is the “biggest thinker” you know who inspires you?

Famous November 1 Birthdays: Jenny McCarthy, Fernando Valenzuela, Tim Cook, David Foster, Lyle Lovett

“You can focus on things that are barriers or you can focus on scaling the wall and redefining the problem.” Tim Cook, Apple CEO.

In the News: Tim Cook also made news, mid-week, when he came out as gay in an essay for Bloomberg Businessweek. In Cook’s natal horoscope, transiting Mars in Capricorn was exactly conjunct his natal Jupiter, this week – a time when we usually are more inclined to stand up for (Mars) our personal beliefs or philosophy (Jupiter). Cook also has “liberating” Uranus, the planet of equality and change, exactly trining his natal Venus in Sagittarius now. Uranus-Venus can be very “freeing” for matters of the heart.

Enjoy your Saturday! Samhain Blessings!

“Maybe a person’s world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.” Deb Caletti

COSMIC WATCH:

With the Moon remaining one more day in “mysterious” Scorpio, we are still swimming around in deeper waters. A willingness to probe or examine life’s more complex issues, particularly those matters that may have been hidden or submerged from our view for a while, serves up a rich opportunity to uncover some precious pearls of wisdom now.

With assertive Mars sextiling compassionate Neptune, we additionally have a grand chance to showcase our more angelic side. “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Anonymous, Holy Bible: King James Version

Famous Birthdays April 26: James Damian, Carol Burnett. “Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.” Carol Burnett

Enjoy your Friday!

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Giving

(Mars sextile Neptune)

Giving: 1) to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; bestow

“With enterprising Mars sextile to compassionate Neptune (2:39 pm EST), we have a golden opportunity for unselfish giving, and the spreading around of noble good deeds.

Additionally, Mars-Neptune tends to make us seek out more excitement. Illusionist Neptune rules costuming and masquerading, and with energizer Mars stoking its ray, we’re looking to “glamorize” or “dress things up” in a bid to escape the humdrum clutches of our daily lives. An excellent day for any projects that employ our creative imagination (painting, acting, film-making, poetry, dancing).

The Moon’s entrance into mysterious Scorpio (9:44 am EST) further gives us a desire to scale the heights and depths of our emotional expression, with an eye to our own transformation.”

“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” John Wooden

Patricia Thompson’s Astrology May 8, 2010: A New Dr. Phil

“He is not a lover who does not love forever.” Euripides.

The warm blend of feminine (Venus) and masculine (Mars) energies continues today, courtesy of the Universe, and surely a welcome reprieve from the other, ongoing, heavier cosmic vibrations.

Venus shows us what we value and appreciate and what we seek to attract to us in our lives.  Venus also signifies our need for comforting connections or relationships.

Mars, the energy planet, is the keeper of our intimate sexual desires and speaks valiantly to us about our most heated passions.

The seductive sextile alignment of these two forces prompts us to want to assertively seek out those more amorous experiences that invigorate every layer of our physical being.

The fantasy-prone Pisces Moon sets the perfect backdrop for all this drama to unfold.

“I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Pisces).

Celebrity News: Did you happen to see Oprah Winfrey’s TV show yesterday, a special celebration of ten years of her magazine that was broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York city?

On the show, Dr. Phil McGraw shaved off his trademark moustache that he has been sporting for some 40 years. He said he did it because he has always been telling people that they have to be willing to change something and that he wanted to walk his talk, so he changed his appearance.

I’m personally not sure if I like him better clean-shaven or not.  What about you?

Of course, being an astrologer, I had to check out Dr. Phil’s horoscope (born 9/1/50) to see if there existed any type of cosmic corollary to match the physical denudement.  The results were rather fascinating.

For the last few days, Dr. Phil, an analytical Virgo (perfect sign for a psychologist), has had the transiting Mars in theatrical Leo exactly square to his natal Mars in transforming Scorpio.  Mars is the planet of action, and normally when we have Mars aspects, especially to our birth chart Mars, we are more predisposed to act out and often in bold ways.  We do things on impulse that we may not normally do, especially with the square aspect, which is more of a challenging influence.

With his natal Mars in the fixed sign of Scorpio, Dr. Phil is normally inclined to execute new moves in his life only after a good measure of careful strategy and planning. The Mars meet-up this week with his natal Mars may have provided him with a sudden impetus to want to change or transform himself (Scorpio) and also gave him the guts and courage to do so.

We have to figure  though, too, that with his shrewd Scorpio Mars, that he also calculated in advance that shaving off his moustache would get both him and Oprah a lot of publicity and consequently be good entertainment (Mars in Leo) and positive for the TV ratings. Mars in Scorpio always covers all its bases. (Oprah also has Mars in Scorpio.)

Venus rules physical appearance and beauty. Yesterday when Dr. Phil had the moustache removed transiting Venus was exactly harmoniously trine his natal Neptune in Libra.  Transiting Mars was also favorably sextiling his Neptune, so he had a double whammy of Neptunian energy going on. Neptune also is the ruler of his Pisces Ascendant which additionally governs outward appearance.

Neptune, as the higher octave of Venus, presides over visual images and illusion.  It rules all forms of theater and manner of disguise (a moustache could be perceived as a disguise). Neptune also rules TV cameras.

So, with the Venus and Mars energy prodding Neptune along, we saw the public unveiling (Libra) before the Neptunian television camera of a new Dr. Phil, a new clean-shaven Venusian form (Mars rules shaving).  Gone was the facial costume. Neptune whimsically lifting the curtain of illusion, so we could all peer in.
